Sales were down since vans were available.Also the custom van craze started.Vans had the side door and so were more accessable for the work trucks and the ablity to produce the van in a passenger model made the "Economies of Scale" a better proposition.Since they already had the tooling It seems like it would not have been a problem to build them but then GM doesn't build a full size rear wheel drive car either.
